Participants have a variety of events planned. For instance, Brooklyn Brewery in Brooklyn, N.Y., will host a party Saturday (April 5), suggesting that those attend "don your fedora and pencil mustache or your flapper garb and join us for great beer and music."

Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Ore., plans its party for April 7. "We will have a special Northwest style pale ale with a complex hop profile using the Brewers Gold hops that were common during the days after Prohibition," according to its website.
